    239 bucks a year for the service I use and it was the most expensive option they offer and I need to show up in Sd once every five years. But I save around 3k a year in income taxes by doing this. It’s a good trade off for me I believe.

    As a homeowner I have a tax credit for my primary residence. At some point that might not be useful but for now I'm ok with where I'm at.
    While I don't need to be there physically I do feel a level of commitment to the city I live in. I'm not even sure why lol I only moved there 10 years ago. But I call it home if I have such a thing....

    That's where I live, or close to there. Yes, it's very beautiful. But trucking jobs are sparse compared to other areas.

    So to the OP-- you need to decide what are the most important things for you and the least important things.

    Then if you let us know we gave you some better suggestions.

    DFW area is great for trucking jobs, lots of terminals which will be close to where you are living. Verses me I live in the far outskirts of Austin and I commute to Dallas where my terminal is.

    Austin is growing very rapidly so you have a lot of local work available. Lots of flatbeds hauling construction material around. And lots food and beverage of course. Its also expensive to live in Austin, but people seem to love it there if they can afford it. Lots of traffic, awful traffic sometimes due to the way the city was laid out.

    San Antonio I don't know as much about but I hear San Antonio is nice and reasonable cost of living. San Antonio has a nice freeway system to help with traffic flow.

    Houston has a lot of traffic. They have hurricanes that like to blow through there every now and then. And more buffet restaurants than I have seen anywhere else.

    80k is doable in that amount of time.

    So in two years I have saved about 50k, but I have also been working on some other things that has taken from what I could have saved.

    Also learn to grow your money. About 42% growth over everything that I have working for me right now. It varies year to year depending on how things are going. But it should trend upward for the most part if you educated yourself and made smart choices. Last year has been a great year for growth.

    I was told “reach for the stars, you might not grab one, but you won’t come up with a handful of mud either.”
